DIY Idea: Lace-Up Flats

9:21:00 AM

If you're even a tiny bit into fashion, I'm sure you've seen the lace-up flats every blogger and trendsetter has shown on their Instagram accounts. I personally love how these shoes look and how most bloggers are wearing them, so besides storing the trend into my Pinterest-perfect covet list, I went on the hunt for my very own pair of lace-up flats, just to find myself in front of $150-and-higher options I couldn't let myself afford. I figured there had to be a way to land a more affordable pick. Luckily, there is. Fashion blogger Kathleen Barnes put together a simple DIY tutorial for The Everygirl to recreate the exact look with minimal spendings, and since it made my life easier (and less poor), it's only fair I share it with you.

1. Mark the places where you want the string to cross and carefully punch holes on those marks. (You can punch as many holes as you want your string to cross.)

2. Measure the length of the string by inserting them through the holes you've opened, and cut.

3. Starting at the toe, loop the ends of the string and create a knot. Then keep on lacing up the shoe, going through the inside.

Once the string has been inserted through every hole, it's up to you to lace up as many times as you want. It really is that simple, and you'll see how the final result is equally fashionable as the coveted ones.
